Big Eyed Girls - paintings by EDEN


Big Eyed Girls
artist: EDEN (first name unknown)
circa 1970's
purchased for $10

Apparently, in the 60's and 70's, there was a wave of artists (Keane, Eden, Gig, Igor) doing paintings of people and animals with big eyes. To me, Eden was the best of this group. And these prints are some of the best of his (or her) work. These are super cute.

Johnny Cash - I Walk The Line 45


Johnny Cash - "I Walk The Line" b/w "Orange Blossom Special" 
45 RPM 7" Single
© 1964/1965 Columbia Records
purchased for $1.00

There is a guy at an indoor flea market in Willingboro, NJ that has THOUSANDS of 45s. All for $1 each. Major thanks to the people who were with me that put up with me while I made sure I got through EVERY SINGLE ONE. So this guy said he had owned a record store for 40 years, and this was all unplayed stock from the store. I found FIVE of these Johnny Cash records, so I got them all. Now I'm selling a few on eBay to cover the cost of the ones that I'm going to keep! This obsession is like a record baby, round and round.

Around Christmas this year, I found a jukebox on ebay for $100! It's in perfect working order, and it was selling from the town next to me. Now I'm having fun filling it up with my favorite 45s. I will make a post dedicated to that jukebox in the near future. Happy rummaging!

Wonder Woman - Party Invitations

Wonder Woman Party Invitations
DC Comics (circa 1977)
purchased for $.25
SOLD for $34.00

I have no idea why I was looking through a basket of party invitations at one of my local thrift shops, but I was. Well it was prettttty worth it. I found this sealed pack of Wonder Woman invitations from 1977, and a pack of Masters Of The Universe as well! So I'm keeping the MOTU pack and I quickly sold the Wonder Woman set on eBay...for $34.00! Pretty silly if you ask me, but hey, I'll take it! It will fund my next batch of crap.
